And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem. And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. And David sent an enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite. And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house. And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.-2 Samuel 11:1-5***King David was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai),  Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. David was the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Joab was David's nephew and the commander of the army. The Ammonites were descendants of Abraham and Sarah's nephew Lot and Lot's youngest daughter, and the son, Ben-ammi, born to Lot and his daughter. If Bathsheba was the daughter of Eliam the Gilonite, Bathsheba was possibly from Giloh, a city in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Judah. Uriah the Hittite was descended from Heth, and Heth was born to Canaan, and Canaan was born to Ham, and Ham was born to Noah the ark builder. Abraham and Sarah were the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren of Noah's son Shem. Moses was from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. Over 400 years before David was born, Moses and his fellow Israelites, and those with them, were in the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, and the Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them. The Lord God commanded the Israelites not to commit adultery and not to covet a neighbor's wife. Immediately thereafter, the Lord God began giving Moses judgments, statutes and laws for the Israelites. Throughout the 40-year journey to the Promised Land, Moses proclaimed the words of the Lord God to the Israelites, including:

-And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.-Leviticus 15:19...But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.-Leviticus 15:28

-Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.-Leviticus 18:19...Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.-Leviticus 18:20

-And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.-Leviticus 20:10

Notably, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, and David are among those  listed in the biblical genealogies of Jesus the Christ, the Son of God. Moreover, Uriah is mentioned and Bathsheba is referred to in the genealogy listed in the Gospel of Matthew in the Holy Bible.-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 15:1-63, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
